If you are a location independent entrepreneur and living a nomadic lifestyle, you should definitely consider going to countries in southeast Asia, Latin America, or southeast Europe, as they are tax-friendly and have lower living costs.

That way, you will save more of your money and be able to "pay yourself first", by not paying unnecessary taxes.

At the same time, you will enhance your quality of life and spend money on things you really WANT and not on something you are supposed to.

We talk a lot here at Nomad Capitalist about easy and fast ways to open an offshore bank account in order to gain diversification and security.

However, if you are lucky enough to be a high-net-worth individual (HNWI), easy and fast may not be one of your priorities - you want something high-class and special.

You could always go to one of the private banks in the world's current financial hubs, such as Singapore and Hong Kong and put all your millions there, but our advice is to diversify a bit.

A winning formula could be: choose a priority bank in Singapore, for example, which would be your "anchor" and then open a series of other priority bank accounts in different countries and banks.

This is especially a good idea if you are investing in real estate because in this way you gain access to some offers available only to people banking in the exact bank or country.

While planning tax reduction strategies, people are mostly focusing on the income tax and they are neglecting the important part of the US tax system - the payroll tax.

If you're not sure what it represents, this type of tax includes social security and medical care.

Digital nomads, freelancers, and other people living and working overseas may avoid paying income tax, but if their company is registered in the US, they still have to pay the payroll tax.

That's why opening an offshore company and employing people outside your home country may be the solution you're looking for.

No one knows the exact number of people that renounced their US citizenship, but the reality is that it's happening and that this number will more likely grow in the years to come.

There are various reasons for that.

The most common one is certainly high taxes and a number of laws concerning them, like FATCA.

However, apart from those financial reasons, many Americans just realized that they don't want to be part of the US system anymore - they don't share the same values, opinions and the way of life.

There is a big debate in the business world about whether it's better to have active or passive income.

But the question is: Is passive really passive?

Because even though you think that your income is passive since it's not your main job and career, that's not the case if you have to manage it somehow.

In the end, the choice is yours, but the formula we believe is successful is: "Focus on passive growth and active income."

If you are into crypto mining, you may be worried because of the recent and continuing crypto lows.

On the other hand, this will force you to discover new energy efficient places and countries, that are crypto-friendly, as well.

While some people talk about the US and Canada as good places to mine crypto, we would suggest some smaller and more independent countries, like Georgia and Iceland.

We talked about it a lot here at Nomad Capitalist - people just love the idea of easy.

Sometimes easy is good, it's true, but sometimes it forces us to make unnecessary mistakes, it's not cost-effective, it doesn't have long-term benefits...

What is important is to know who you are, what you need and how you can achieve it - not just chase the idea of easy.

Respect your time and efforts more and you will see the fruits of it very soon.

Here at Nomad Capitalist, it's all about breaking down the barriers - real life, as well as psychological ones.

For some reason, people mostly find this nomadic and offshore lifestyle being a huge, impossible step to take and they are not brave enough to go outside their familiar framework and comfort zone.

That's why it's important to start thinking globally, explore the world, travel, get familiar with the "other side". You don't have to go all-in, "baby-step" your way to the final goal.

And remember: No one believes it's possible until it's done.

May 30, 2019

Risk tolerance and people's idea of safe are mostly completely wrong - they tend to stick to the old, rooted ideas about the world and don't take into consideration the constant changes.

People still believe that the most developed countries are also the safest when it comes to investing, banking and other financial matters.

The reality is that emerging countries, like Armenia, Georgia, countries in Southeast Asia and Europe are much more suitable for foreign investments, prices are stable, or constantly growing and there are fewer problems in general.

May 29, 2019

Are you one of those people who believe that investing in Australian real estate is reliable and profitable?

On the contrary - it just may be the worst investment move you can ever make. Returns and yields are surprisingly low and you will have to pay high taxes as well.

Therefore, if you want to invest your money in real estate, you better look for a place in some of the emerging markets, such as southeast Asia or Latin America, where your wealth will grow and forget about Australia.

Malaysia is a country with lots of opportunities and a great place for living if you are a digital nomad or a location independent worker.
 
In general, there are three possible ways to stay in Malaysia, depending on your needs and capabilities:
 
1. Regular tourist visa for a period of 90 days - 00:51
2. Work permit for living and working in Labuan, the federal territory of Malaysia - 1:43
3. MM2H (Malaysia My Second Home) Program - may be the most appealing and popular option, which allows you to stay in Malaysia for a period of 10 years, together with your family - 3:31

"Where do you pay your tax?" This could be one of the most important questions that a banker will ask you when opening an offshore bank account and all because of one regulation: the Common Reporting Standard (CRS).

CRS has been created in order to facilitate automatic information sharing about foreign financial accounts between more than a hundred member countries.

However, there are still some countries that are not applying CRS and they indeed are good choices for offshore banking, e.g. Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, Cambodia, Paraguay, and even the United States.

The world is constantly changing and some, maybe unexpected places are slowly taking the "throne" and becoming the "next big thing".

Here at Nomad Capitalist, we believe that Armenia and its capital Yerevan could be one of the best options to live, bank and invest your money.

It is a country with a long and important culture, strong work ethics and efficiency and even though there were stories lately that corruption in Armenia is on a really high level, that only motivated its citizens to be even better and develop their country more.

May 23, 2019

The nomadic lifestyle is becoming more and more popular every day and it is inevitable that we will witness some changes in the time to come.

As people nowadays are earning a lot of money by working remotely or online they won't be satisfied anymore with living on a low budget in Thailand or Bali, just because everyone is doing the same.

That's why we believe that the digital nomad of the future will be an online entrepreneur that wants the best of everything - luxury, expensive prestigious things, etc.

A modern version of today's perpetual traveler who goes beyond the ordinary.

Despite being the biggest and one of the most known banks in Hong Kong, HSBC bank may be one of the most problematic banks as well.

There are several issues that people run into while banking there.

First of all, because of the fact that Hong Kong is one of the biggest offshore havens in the world, HSBC started being suspicious and rejecting people who want to open an offshore bank account.

Furthermore, their employees are not so familiar with the individual cases, which makes the HSBC rather slow and inefficient.

Would you move to Tulsa in Oklahoma for a year and get paid $10K? There is a program, started recently, offering location independent US citizens to move to Tulsa and open their business there.

The only question is: Do you really want to move to Tulsa just because it's "free"?

You will still have to pay income tax, that's inevitable, and if you've already made a move to go to Oklahoma, you can go even further and live somewhere where you really want to be.

The important thing when planning your asset diversification is to think outside your home country and not store all of your wealth in the same place.

Always be ready for sudden changes and shocks and divide your money in entirely uncorrelated assets: have cash in lots of different currencies, hold some precious metals, cryptocurrency or stocks while choosing markets that are not co-dependent.

Also, investing in real estate around the world could be a good way to get second residencies or even citizenships, so always consider all possible options.

May 16, 2019

Have you ever heard of the lump-sum tax system?

It's a special kind of taxation, based on a fixed amount, rather than on the real circumstances.

What is interesting is that it is "reserved" for the ultra-rich people who don't want to go offshore to some distant countries in order to pay zero or really low tax, but rather wish to have more predictability regarding their tax payments.

The country that is the most famous for allowing this type of tax is Switzerland, which gives super-rich people a privilege to negotiate and fix the amount of their tax.

May 15, 2019

Travel bloggers and Instagram influencers are missing a big opportunity while traveling the world. Specifically, they're not looking for opportunities in the country they visit.

While countries like Iceland, Sri Lanka, and even Gambia have become go-to spots for the emerging jet set, few are aware of the banking, investment, and lifestyle opportunities there beyond a quick photo.

May 14, 2019

The world is constantly changing and one of the things you need to know is that bank secrecy is dead.

When it comes to the US citizens and Green Card holders, they already have FATCA - tax compliance act that requires all foreign banks to disclose and report US citizens' bank accounts.

However, there is another act called CRS (Common Reporting Standard) that is practically FATCA on a global level.

It is in force in more than 100 countries, including traditional "offshore havens", and it's making your accounts and your money completely transparent.

May 13, 2019

Banking in Armenia may just become the "next big thing".

It's a country very similar to Georgia when it comes to banking - they are both open to foreigners opening bank accounts and storing their wealth.

Also, they're not applying the CRS standards, which means you have more privacy, in addition to the high interest rates and the possibility to invest in their real estate market.

What is interesting about Armenia is that they allow you to bank in lots of different currencies - euros, US dollars, and even Russian rubles, which may be a twist you were looking for.

May 10, 2019

What is the "Nomad Tax Trap" and how can you avoid it?

With the growing trend of digital nomads and perpetual travelers all around the world, some of them believe that they are not obliged to pay tax in their home country, or any other for that matter, as they are always on the run.

However, governments and banks don't exactly like those people who claim that they "live nowhere" and they'll try to force you in many ways to pay your tax.

That's why it's important to know your base and your actual "tax home", so you can make a unique holistic offshore plan that will help you reduce your taxes.

May 9, 2019

Imagine if some really important country in the "world of second citizenships" suddenly decides to sell a certain number of passports for a lot of money.

Would people buy them? Would you buy, e.g. Swiss citizenship for ten million Swiss francs if it was for sale, in return for a strong passport and visa-free access to many important countries?

Having in mind that many developed countries do have financial issues, maybe this is not as impossible as it sounds.

May 8, 2019

In this video, we are going to share six different ways that will motivate you and help you save more of your money by going offshore.

There will be some obvious ones, like reducing taxes and costs of living.

On the other hand, there are also some more behavioral and human factors, such as reducing stress and compliance, increased revenue from feeling good or revenue from off-limits. These are maybe not so measurable, but that doesn't make them less important.
